How to Pan-Roast Chicken Thighs, as Seen on the "Today" Show

This morning on Today, Bon Appetit Food Editor
Allie Lewis Clapp preached the gospel of the chicken thigh, that flavorful, succulent cousin to the sometimes problematic chicken breast. She showed
Al Roker (and Al Roker alone) how to make a delicious plate of pan-roasted chicken thighs with lemon and an oregano, garlic, and shallot pan sauce.

The food, of course, looks great (and tastes great), but Roker’s killer punmanship really steals the show. You’ll have to watch the whole video to catch it, but it involves the fond–the scrapings that add a lot of flavor when you deglaze a pan–and a certain leather-jacketed
Henry Winkler character.
